Alternative Energy

Students will construct a wind turbine, gauge energy efficiency and durability. Students will then reflect on their data. This leads to a great discussion on different methods for capturing energy.

This lesson is focused on solar energy, students engage in a hands-on exploration of photovoltaic cells, motors, and light bulbs to investigate the correlation between light intensity and solar power

The purpose of this activity is to teach students about electrical energy generation in Arizona and the science behind electrical energy generation including radioactive decay and nuclear energy.

Students are guided through the urgency to create large scale plan solutions for climate mitigation and green energy fuel sources. They will then build and design a bioreactor using algae as a

This lesson is a whole unit on energy. It can be broken up into 10 separate lessons. I chose to put them all together so that it was easier to see how I organized them so you did not have to search

For hundreds of years, people have harnessed moving air (wind) to do work. The earliest forms of wind-powered machines were sailboats. Wind pushing against the sails of a boat provided the energy to

In this creative lesson, students will engage in argument from evidence to determine the feasibility of the use of an energy resource. Students will research an energy resource and answer a set of

Students will compare Eind vs. Solar by using two kits from Thames & Kosmos.
